The fallout that will follow the #tiktokban will be awful. Other countries will make similar demands of U.S companies, empowering dictatorial governments that seek to make the Internet a walled garden for their citizens. And in the U.S, a normalization of nationalized censorship

Will existing technologies like Tor be enough to slow, stop, or circumvent these trends? If not, what else is needed?

The conclusions in The Sovereign Individual assume a global, borderless internet.
"Let's shut down international tech platforms" sounds like "let's attempt to extend national borders into cyberspace".
Are encrypted protocols (TLS, VPNs, Tor) enough to resist such attempts?

does allow users to circumvent censorship via tools like Tor Browser, Orbot (a mobile app maintained by that sends traffic over the Tor network), etc. But country-wide censorship still causes harm as not everyone knows how to/can use tools like these

we all envision an internet as the great equaliser for freedom of even unpopular speech, free flow of information, and and open discussion of ideas; but the concentration of eyeballs to a few highly censored venues (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc) has already undermined this.
